@raykholo :slight_smile:

Very cool, nice work.

It says … “The SmoothieBoard itself is coming up on version two, or so we’re told, and of course that board will have enough new features to make things very interesting”
Any news ? :smiley:

@David_Bassetti Working very hard. Making progress. Colossal project. Progress depends on contributors so can’t have a timetable.

Is that little board available somewhere? I’m interested because since it doesn’t have the stepper drivers built in, it can be used with larger drivers even servo drivers… :cough: like mine.

@James_Newton that little board, the “stamp”, was really just for fun and as a basis for certain other projects in the pipeline. If you scroll thru my profile, you’ll find 2 other boards that I’ve been working on and either of those can easily be used with external drivers using an adapter board which I also have designed. A few other people have expressed interest in that board as well but it’s not something I can have manufactured unless an OEM wants 250 or 1,000 of them at once :slight_smile:

@raykholo So you call that little guy the “Smoothie STAMP” and the other one that accepts other drivers is… the DIY Smoothieboard?

@raykholo Once v2 smoothie is a bit more mainstream, if you design a lpc4330 version of this ( no need right now ), we will likely be making 100 of them.

@Arthur_Wolf I can design that as soon as reference hardware designs are made available.

@raykholo Right now, this is very low priority. What we really need a ton of help with ( like : pretty please ! ), is the extension boards.
Those are easy to design, they will be insanely useful to the community, and we need a lot of help on them.
Want to do some ?
